Want cheap hardware? Slot-A Athlon 800Mhz non-tbird Soyo K7VIA motherboard, VIA KX133 chipset Generic 300W power supply bought from mwave
and, for the other hardware:
1 DVD-ROM drive 1 Plextor PlexWriter CD-RW drive 1 IBM 75GXP 7200RPM 45GB ATA/100 drive 1 Promise ATA/100 HDD controller 1 350MB Western Digital Caviar drive, but this powers down completely when not in use 2 Generic 80mm case fans 1 low-end HSF unit with three small fans 1 GeForce2MX 1 stick of generic 256MB PC133 SDRAM that refuses to run at 133Mhz 1 ISA NIC 1 PCI NIC 1 floppy drive, sony I think, otherwise generic
I have never experienced problems with Athlon optimizations, and I *always* compile with them enabled.
Prehaps the key lies in Thunderbird vs Non-Thunderbird? When did these problems start showing up, and at what clock speeds? What motherboards? What chipsets?
